In a major milestone for HSI/India’s campaign to end cruel and obsolete animal testing, the Drug Technical Advisory Board, India’s highest health advisory board, recommended a two year phase-out period for the “Draize” irritation tests using rabbits.

The findings of HSI and Animal Help Foundation's Bi-Annual Dog Population Survey found that 51.3 percent of dogs have now been sterilized and vaccinated in Jamshedpur, India. The sterilization of dogs is an important step in reducing the overpopulation of street dogs in the city, while vaccination aims to eradicate rabies from the community.
